In fact, if you watch the various slo-mo versions out there, you see that maybe the side of his wrist or possibly just his sleeve contacted the intern. He did not put his hand on anything. And, that was just because he was moving his arm down while the intern got in the way – he obviously didn’t intentionally put his wrist or sleeve on her, it was incidental contact.
I have no idea why posters on this board are falling for such obvious lies by the administration. It’s really bizarre. I wonder if they also think the turnout for Trump’s inauguration was huge. One can argue over the effects of tax bills or deregulation, and who should get the credit, but some facts are just objective.
I find this episode to be very strange.
